Renee Zellweger has gained 10 pounds in a bid to find a new man. The 39-year-old actress - who is divorced from singer Kenny Chesney - has gone from a tiny U.K. size six to a slender size eight.

A source said: "Renee was worried her slim frame made her look gaunt, sickly and, worst of all, old. She is going to be 40 in six months and doesn't want to be single then."

Renee Zellweger has revealed she had a cancer scare in 1996. The "Leatherheads" star immediately made an appointment to see a doctor after finding two small lumps on her right breast.

She said: "I thought, 'Oh, I know what you do now. You find out what that is.' So I went and found out."

Kenny Chesney claims nothing about his marriage to Renee Zellweger made him happy.

The singer married 'Bridget Jones' Diary' star Renee in 2005 but the couple split just four months later.

Reports of a sex tape featuring Marilyn Monroe are part of an elaborate publicity stunt, it has been claimed.

It was revealed earlier this month a New York businessman had purchased exclusive footage of the late actress performing oral sex on an unidentified man for $1.5 million, but was planning to "keep it locked up".
